      This is a good idea to get people’s interest by showing the problem in a short. These videos are awesome and much more ppl should see them. But I think it would be better if you schedule the shorts with some delay and don’t post a bunch in a row to the same time, then release a bunch of videos, then a bunch of shorts, … In my opinion releasing one video per week at max and then the corresponding short, then the next video, … would be better. But other than that I really like your explanations.

      @@jyrinx notice how the speed of collisions increases as both blocks approach the origin? That increase in speed creates a tone with a frequency. As the mass of the largest block increases that tone both increases in pitch and becomes a smoother approximate of some sin or cos function. Simultaneously as the mass of the block increases the resulting number of collisions better and better approximates pi. There absolutely is a wave function here.

      It's actually not a circle but more of a measurement of the rate of change in the motion of the bigger block. The bigger the block, the more data points there are in the arc that follows the curve that would be considered the top of the circle.

    Another perspective!
    If left block has infinitely small mass, then it acts as an ideal gas particle, which upon compression gives higher and higher pressure, thus acting like a spring. And any sort of oscillator is connected with a trigonometry, since both 1d oscillation and 2d circular orbit path stem from the attractive force directed towards some point. So it's no surprising we've found "pi" here, since these two things are deeply interconnected.

      Ooooo, look, as the oscillation rate is affected by the bigger block's mass, when that bass goes up by a power of 100 , the number of collisions increases by pi x that exponent

    • @justinblount9017
      @justinblount9017 Рік тому +3

      Given x is the value of cube times the sum being square the coefficient balance can equate to being rectangular along the y axis of a frictionless plane in theory not being circular. Thus collision predicts reckless behavior and the allegory of all sides being even, further reinstates cube. Even so quantumly objectifying the odds of pi from the theory of bounce we’ve conducted “slide”into cubical melee resulting mathematical violence and that’s all possible theoretically to Schrodinger‘s cat who’s was a gold fish Perhaps.
